✨ uvd_v7_0_ring_get_wptr(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual (section 9 ofc 💅) — this one's a lil baby function page and honestly? she's short but she matters.

🌸 NAME 🌸

uvd_v7_0_ring_get_wptr — literally just: get write pointer 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

uint64_t uvd_v7_0_ring_get_wptr (struct amdgpu_ring *ring );

that's it. one arg. one return. no cap ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

She returns the current hardware write pointer 💫 like that's genuinely the whole thing. the hardware one, the real one, straight off the silicon — not some cached copy, not a vibe, the actual current value. lowkey iconic that a whole function exists just to hand you that one uint64_t 🫶

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • ring — amdgpu_ring pointer 🎀 that's your ring, bestie. hand her over and she'll go find the write pointer for you. it's giving "just point me at the ring and I gotchu" energy ✨
